Mathematics Communication Skill Analysis in Means-End-Analysis Learning Assisted with Manipulative Property (APM) and Application Based on Self-Efficacy

This research analyzed mathematics communication skills with the Means-End Analysis model assisted with Manipulative Property (APM), MEA with Linear System Pro application, and PBL based on the eighth graders' self-efficacy. This quasi-experimental research used a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects were eighth-graders of Public JHS 4 Adiwerna. The samples were VIII-C learners as the first experimental group, VIII-G learners as the second experimental group, and VIII-H learners as the control group. The data collecting techniques were mathematics communication skill test and self-efficacy inventory. The results were: (1) MEA with APM (82.75%), MEA with Linear System Pro (78.12%), and PBL (75%) of the learners reached the minimum mastery standard with a proportion percentage, 75%; (2) there were mean differences between MEA assisted by APM, MEA assisted by Linear System Pro, and PBL toward the learners’ mathematics communication skills, (3) there were significant differences of self-efficacy: high, moderate, and low toward the learners’ mathematics communication skills; and (4) there were interactions between learning models with the levels of self-efficacy toward learners’ mathematics communication skills. Keywords: Mathematics Communication Skill, Means-End-Analysis Learning Model (MEA), Manipulative Property (APM), Linear System Pro, Self-efficacy.

Being present: is it the most important communication skill?

The COVID-19 pandemic has made people rely on the presence of the internet to run their business. Businesses, schools, retail, religious gatherings, and other components are all required to use an internet platform in some way.

Evaluasi Program Pemberdayaan Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) LAZISMU Magetan dengan Pendekatan Diagram Kartesius

This study aimed to determine the effect of zakat empowerment with MSMEs on the economic people empowerment according to the mustahik perceptions. This research used descriptive analysis with Cartesian coordinate approach. The results showed that the quality of LAZISMU in the MSMEs empowerment program in each dimension of tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy was almost entirely good quality. The tangible dimension can be shown through the ease of procedures for submitting assistance and the period of its realization. The suitability between everything described by the officer with the reality on the reliable dimension is the main priority factor. The politeness, friendliness and communication skill of officers in the empathy dimension are factors that must be maintained. While transparency in providing information on survey results on the assurance dimension is a low priority factor. The monitoring on the impact of empowerment on the responsiveness dimension and the strategic location of the LAZISMU office on the tangible dimension was considered excessive. There is an effect of zakat empowerment with MSMEs on increasing the people's economic income in terms of service quality according to the perceptions of mustahik. This research suggests LAZISMU Magetan for accelerates the realization of assistance proposals and the ease in applying for assistance.

Penggunaan Lembar Kerja Digital untuk Mengembangkan Keterampilan Komunikasi Mahasiswa pada Mata kuliah Telaah Kurikulum Fisika

This study aims to develop students' communication skills in the Physics Curriculum Study course through the use of Digital Worksheets. The subjects of this study were 23 students of class 5B. The student came from the Physics Education Study Program, University of Mataram, who attended the Physics Curriculum Study course in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The research instrument used was a student communication skill observation sheet with three indicators. Observations were made online at the Learning Management System (LMS) equipped with Digital Worksheets on the Discussion Forum menu. Observations were made every meeting, namely 14 times using a 4-scale rating score. The increase in score from the first meeting to the last meeting was calculated using N-gain. The average score of student communication skills is 79.5 which is in good criteria. The improvement of students' communication skills based on the calculation of N-gain is 72.7 which is in the high category. Thus, the use of Digital Worksheets can develop students' communication skills in the Physics Curriculum Study course.
